The beautiful yarn makes it work up like a breeze without having to do any complicated color changes. If you can double crochet and crochet in the round, this blanket bag pattern will be super easy! Perfect for the beach, the park, or even as a sleepover bag."

Now this is unique. I have never seen anything like it. But after reading the directions I can see that it is going to be an easy project. I think it would be something to carry in my car. It would come in handy for many occasions . Thank you for sharing.

What an awesome idea. You can stash all things you need for a day at the beach or a picnic in the park into the bag and then use it as your blanket when you get there. This is a very simple tutorial and contains a lot of pictures and there is a video tutorial included with it also.

This is a great idea - a blanket that turns into a bag. It would be good for an beach outing, a park stroll, anything that would be handy for you to lay out a blanket just to relax. The instructions look easy to follow and the yarn is easy to find. I love the colors they use but you can use an combination you want. Thank you.

Love, love, love! GImme, gimme, gimme! Even MORE beautiful than the mandala hybrid blanket/bag is the lapghan that she's displayed so artfully across the chair. I just LOVE the look of a round afghan or lapghan, and I have always wanted to do one. I attempted once and it did not look right at all. I trust Mama In A Stitch to provide an accurate pattern for me to follow! I'm saving this one for sure.
